How far would a spacecraft moving in a circular orbit 500 km above Pluto's surface travel during that time?
1 answer:
Answer:
The speed of the spacecraft should be 719.35m/s
Explanation:
if the spacecraft is orbiting the planet with a circular orbit, the gravitational force must act as a centripetal force. This means:
In this case, the pluto's mass M is 1.3099·10^22 kg. The radius of the planet R is 1188.3Km and G is the gravitational constant. Therefore:

The momentum before the collision velocity after the collision will be 1237.6 kg m/s² and 6.8 m/sec.
<h3>What is the law of conservation of momentum?</h3>According to the law of conservation of momentum, the momentum of the body before the collision is always equal to the momentum of the body after the collision.
The given data in the problem is;
(m₁) is the mass of hockey player 1= 91.0-kg
(m₂) is the mass of hockey player 2= 91.0-kg
(u₁) is the velocity before collision of hockey player 1 = 5.50 m/s.
(u₂) is the velocity before the collision of hockey player 2=?
a)
Momentum before the collision;
Momentum before the collision = 1237.6 kg m/s².
b)
The velocity of the two hockey players after the collision from the law of conservation of the momentum as:
Momentum before collision = Momentum after the collision
1237.6 kg m/s² = (m₁+m₂)V
1237.6 kg m/s² =(2 ×91.0-kg )V
V=6.8 m/sec.
Hence, momentum before the collision velocity after the collision will be 1237.6 kg m/s² and 6.8 m/sec.
